After his time there, he was an editor at Metropolis, an architecture and design magazine, and Inside.com. Before becoming the top print editor at New York in 2014, the year the magazine went from a weekly to a biweekly, he edited pieces by Kurt Andersen, Jesse Green and Emily Nussbaum, among many others.
Mr. Hohlt was considered a potential editor in chief of New York, but the job went to David Haskell, a deputy editor, after Mr. Moss stepped down.
“We’re in a moment where the media landscape has never been more crowded, and Jared has a real track record of editing pieces that stand out in that landscape,” said Dan Check, Slate’s chief executive.
Slate, founded in 1996, has gone through some upheaval in recent months. In addition to the departure of its former editor in chief, Ms. Turner, it lost a key executive when Jacob Weisberg, the chairman and editor in chief of the Slate Group, left in September for a new podcast venture.
Slate, based in New York, also became a union shop last year, when its staff members joined the Writers Guild of America East. In January, Slate’s management entered into a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the union. The deal was reached after union members voted to authorize a strike.
